Draping & Designing With Scissors & Cloth, 1920's
This is a new reprinted edition of the original Women's Institute volume complete with profuse draping diagrams of 1920's
flapper and Poiret influenced dresses, including shawl, capes and coats. It is a very hard-to-find draping text on the original
techniques of that period -- collectors are not letting them go anymore!
Draping and Designing With Scissors and Cloth, 1930's
Draping & Designing with Scissors & Cloth, 1930's, offers the fluid draped designs of the late Art Deco period. It
features the dresses, collars, sleeves and details of the 30's and also the bias cut designs that made the pre-WW1 era fashion
famous -- full of illustrations and very specific instructions.

The Art and Craft of Ribbonwork
During the Edwardian Period at the turn of the 20th Century, women wore large hats festooned with ribbon confections that
took the breath away. The company that made the ribbons published a how-to instruction book for flowers, cockades, rucheing
-- anything that could be attached to a hat! In 1980, I re-published it and I just discovered a box in the garage with 50
copies left -- so here it is!

bodice front & back and sleeve) on transparent polyester sheet that you to put on top of your patterns and either alter

The Doughnut Skirt Instructions
The Doughnut Skirt pattern is a big doughnut and is made by drawing out the simple instructions in the shape of a doughnut
right on the fabric and cutting it out -- no paper!
The 'doughnut' is worn by twisting the doughnut twice around the waist, forming a double layer skirt with a twist at the
waist, which can be placed anywhere around the waist. Think moderne wedding bustle! The skirt requires no zipper, waistband,
or hem is made with a true square of reversible fabric.
